Liner notes

We wrote these one by one over a year at the same old garden table, and only at the end noticed they all turn on the seasons: the first spring light, the apple stall, windfall plums in September. Some are for people who gave us a lesson or a lift. I think it's the closest we've come to a front-porch album, and we're proud of it.
